…o FBOSS image (facebook#243) <!-- Thanks for submitting a pull request! We appreciate you spending the time to work on these changes. Please provide enough information so that others can review your pull request. --> **Pre-submission checklist** - [x] I've ran the linters locally and fixed lint errors related to the files I modified in this PR. You can install the linters by running `pip install -r requirements-dev.txt && pre-commit install` - [x] `pre-commit run` We noticed that the management interface name on `wdg101` after PXE booting one of our FBOSS distro images changed to `eno1`. The Accton SW has it as `eth0` which is the default in some FBOSS tests too. I looked at the difference and found that in our FBOSS distro image we are not passing `biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0` kernel commandline args while Accton's linux image is passing it. These two kernel arguments are used to disable `Predictable Network Interface Naming` which names interfaces like `eno1`. <!-- Explain the motivation for making this change and any other context that you think would help reviewers of your code. What existing problem does the pull request solve? --> <!-- Demonstrate the code is solid. Example: The exact commands you ran and their output, screenshots / videos if the pull request changes the user interface. How exactly did you verify that your PR solves the issue you wanted to solve? --> <!-- If a relevant Github issue exists for this PR, please make sure you link that issue to this PR --> Tested by modifying kernel commandline args on Wedge800 (`wdg101`) and verifying that the interface is listed at `eth0` and not `eno1`.
